College Community Communications
The College Community Communications team provides an integrated communications service to the College that focuses primarily on Imperial’s staff and student communities.
As well as producing community-focused campaigns ranging from staff and student profiles to updates on College strategies, we also manage internal communications channels for staff and students such as Staff Briefing and Inside Imperial. We also manage Imperial Stories, the College’s long-form platform, as well as Imperial Today, our daily newsletter covering the latest College news and research.
In addition, we manage the official Imperial social media channels, produce videos for the College and provide advice on crisis management, writing for the web and effective campaign evaluation.
